There was a post recently that said MSNBC suits must have talked to Andrea Mitchelll as she was getting people's...

titles correct. Well today she kept calling trump 'President trump', nor 'former President trump.'

How have they not forced her to retire? Back in the day they forced Ann Curry out. The despicable Matt Lauer too.

Mitchell's delivery is often halting, makes one wonder if she'll even get the words out.

It infuriates me, however, when someone refers to him as the president.

And you're right. Andrea Mitchell has terrible word retrieval issues. It's a problem that plagues many of us older folks, but most of us are not on national TV.

I do understand that former presidents, generals, senators, colonels etc, long out of the political arena, are honored with addressing them with their former title.

I recognize the halting speech and the difficulty with complicated political bs.

I live on a fixed income, like many seniors, so I do not understand why a millionaire like Andrea keeps up the charade.

Ego?

As far as keep moving or die...maybe reassessment is in order considering exercise guru Richard Simmons died recently but Keith Richards is still going strong.

She's a g-damn apologist for the right wing agenda and always has been. She's just missing a step and can't hide it (her bias) sufficiently anymore. This is the sorry state of our MSM.

Old and tired! She wears me out and I can’t watch her for more than 60seconds. I have to switch to CNN and that’s short lived as Dana Bash is like watching her child but she doesn’t put me to sleep. She just usually pisses me off and then I have to go watch HGTV and cool down.
